We recommend wearing workout clothes you can stretch and move in. For YHot and Power classes, wear something you’ll be comfortable sweating in.
You will require a mat for all classes. We also recommend you bring a mat towel and/or bath towel for any heated classes, or if you just find you get extra sweaty during your practice. If you don’t have your own, or forget them, mats & towels are available to rent from the studio for a fee.
Shared props are available for all classes. You can also bring your own or purchase them from our boutique if you prefer.
General Questions
Please arrive at least 10 – 15 minutes early to sign in and ensure you have time to get into class as classes begin right on time. Once a class has started we’re unable to accommodate late entries.
First, please make sure that you have been cleared by your doctor to practice yoga.
Although yoga is beneficial for healing, note that some styles are quite vigorous and may not be ideal for when you’re first coming back. We recommend starting off with gentle, slower-paced classes such as Gentle Hatha, Hatha, or Restorative. Yin may be a good choice so long as your injury is not joint-related.
The minimum age to attend any class style WITH a parent/legal guardian present is age 12.
The minimum age to attend any class style WITHOUT a parent/legal guardian present is 15. However, if you are under the age of 19, please have a parent or legal guardian review and sign the electronic waiver when you create your online account. You can practice on your own once you have a waiver signed by your parent/guardian.

In order to become certified you must attend all training hours, complete your homework, and complete 25 practices and 10 observations.
We welcome students of all levels in our teacher trainings! Veteran students will dive deeper into their own practice, and newer students will establish a solid foundation in their own skills. While we expect all practitioners to have a thoughtful practice, you do not need to be able to perform complicated asana. A commitment to your practice is all you need!
Students should be able to understand English and be capable of physically participating in the program for which they are applying. If you are working with an injury, please contact us or book a call with our Programming Coordinator to discuss your options, as this may be a barrier to your experience.
The minimum age to attend the training is 17 years old, but you must have permission from your parent or legal guardian.
The 200-Hour Yoga Teacher Training can be paid in full up-front, or by module (there are 3 modules). If you choose to pay per module, payment must be made before the start of each module. Check out the “Investment” portion of our Teacher Training page to learn more.
We are excited to also announce that we are now offering bursaries for up to 50% of the cost of the full program. If you would like to apply for a bursary, click here for the application.
